Would you believe, this weekend is the fourth Bank Holiday since we started staying at home? And with each one, we're getting better at keeping ourselves occupied while keeping others safe. To help you do just that, we share a regular dose of initiatives, enterprises and events that have caught our eye over the last seven days, so without further ado, here is this week's Stuff We Love.
Bloom At Home
Whether you prefer your garden/balcony/patch of grass low-maintenance or fully landscaped, the lockdown has given us a goo for all things green-fingered. And if you've got a new-found penchant for peonies, this Sunday, May 31st, the Bloom Festival is going virtual. You and your new trowel are invited to a day gardening Q&As, discussion panels and cookery demonstrations from the comfort of your own couch/garden hammock!

Lost Stock Clothing Boxes
Due to Coronavirus, designer and high street brands have cancelled orders for over billions of euro worth of clothing that had already been produced, leaving millions of garment workers in countries like Bangladesh unemployed and at risk of starvation. Enter Lost Stock, a site that allows you to purchase a box of clothing, at a reduced price to support workers and prevent waste. Each box supports a worker and their family for a week and so far, Lost Stock have been able to help over 60,000 families. Boxes cost £35 and can be customised for gender, size, and style - think of it as a wearable lucky dip!
For more information or to buy a box, visit loststock.com
